"Editathons" are hackathons where participants edit Wikipedia entries on a given topic. The goal of this “editathon” is for people to learn how to use and improve Wikipedia articles while increasing the digital rights content on the internet encyclopedia. This event is open to the public and will likely last throughout the evening. If you are Mexican or Colombian, help us expand and improve Wikipedia on digital rights issues in Spanish!

Find more information about the editathon here. EFF’s own Katitza Rodriguez and Leez Wright will both be in Bogotá for this event; join them for a day of editing and creating!
